Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Africa Europe Latin America Middle East North America US gunman at Pentagon acted alone: police AFP - Saturday, March 6 Send IM Story Print WASHINGTON (AFP) - – A heavily armed gunman who was fatally shot after opening fire at police outside the Pentagon appeared to have acted alone with no connection to terror groups, police said Friday. The suspect, 36-year-old John Patrick Bedell of California, was shot in the head by officers, two of whom suffered minor wounds in the Thursday assault. A surveillance video showing a well-dressed Bedell approaching the entrance to the huge Department of Defense building "pretty much confirms what we've been saying, that he acted alone," Pentagon Force Protection Agency chief Richard Keevill told reporters. He said no motive had yet been found for the assault that occurred during the evening rush-hour outside the metro system's busy Pentagon station. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies were checking Internet postings suggesting Bedell may have harboured resentment of the US government and promoted conspiracy theories about September 11, 2001 attacks. "That's one of the many things we're looking at," Keevill said, adding that authorities had yet to confirm whether the Web posts were from the suspect. Bedell, from the small California town of Hollister, reportedly studied electrical engineering at San Jose State University, where one of his professors was impressed with his intellect and saw no sign of a volatile personality. "He was always on time. Always prepared. Always asking that great question that sparked further discussion," Professor David Parent told the San Jose Mercury News. Bedell was accepted into the graduate electrical engineering program in 2008 and was last enrolled in the autumn of 2009, the newspaper said, citing university records. A different portrait emerged from Internet posts under the same name, with rants about the US government, marijuana laws and "a new dark age." In one entry, user JPatrickBedell wrote he was working toward "establishing the truth of events such as the September 11 demolitions." "I am determined to see that justice is served in the death of Colonel James Sabow," a US Marine who died in his backyard in 1991, he added. The death was ruled a suicide but some followers of the case allege Sabow was murdered in a cover-up. In an audio file, the US government is described as a "coup regime" run by an "international criminal conspiracy" that allegedly seized power after the 1963 assassination of former president John F. Kennedy. One US law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP there were initial signs Bedell was mentally "unstable" and had run-ins with police. Bedell "had a couple of contacts with the law" in the past, Keevill said, without providing more details. The police chief said the gunman had driven across the country from the west coast over the past few weeks and left his car in a parking garage near the Pentagon. Police found more ammunition in the car. Keevill said Bedell appeared quietly determined to inflict bloodshed at the center of US military power. "He was very well armed," with two 9-millimeter semi-automatic weapons and several magazines, the police chief added, noting a "significant number of rounds" were fired in a close-range exchange that lasted less than a minute. "He walked very directly to the officers and engaged" them in a shootout at a main entrance to the building, sending employees diving for cover, Keevill said. Three officers, including the two who were wounded, shot back at Bedell. The officers were wearing bullet-proof vests and had minor injuries, with one grazed on the shoulder and the other on the thigh. They were later released after being treated at hospital. "There is no indication at this point that there are any domestic or international terrorist" connections in the case, Keevill said. Pentagon police have undergone elaborate training since the September 11 attacks and security procedures were reviewed after a shooting rampage in November at the Fort Hood army base in Texas. Keevill said he was "pleased" with how police responded and had no plans to overhaul security. The Pentagon metro station reopened after being closed overnight. After a hijacked plane slammed into the Pentagon in the 9/11 attacks, the building was fortified and the metro exit rebuilt so that riders exit outside the building and away from the Pentagon entrance.
